Night Owl Pro Nexgen Night Vision Binocular (5x) Review

Night Owl specializes in the night vision industry and has produced a number on monocular and binoculars models based on their accumulated experience. These binoculars work extremely well with some ambient light and many users  reported they could see clearly for hundreds of yards. In complete darkness, the infrared  illuminator works great. Due to the sensitivity of the lenses be cautious about using them in full light. These Gen 1 night vision binoculars have proven to work well for most users although a limited number found them difficult to focus.

Built-іn Infrared Illuminator

Any available light is gathered by the front objective lens and then transmitted through a set of optical lenses to the Electronic Intensifier Tube (E.I.T.). The Nexgen has two tubes.

"I was blown away at the hundreds of yards of view with these night vision binoculars! Unmatched, as I also own night vision monocular or single sight IR which can barely see 10 feet! I live next to a very large cranberry bog and watched a cayote, at 300 yards in complete darkness, walk along the far bank. Amazing"

"I've never owned any night vision product, but always wanted one. Decided on the binoculars for night viewing of animals. These binoculars are awesome. With some ambient light, you can see clearly for hundreds of yards. In complete darkness, the IR works great. I was not sure about generation one technology, put these are great for what I want them for."

"Field of vision was very distorted and fuzzy even after focusing. Objective focus wheel very difficult to turn. Unit was quite a bit heavier than I expected and fatigues the arms and shoulders after a short time. Cannot recommend."

"The spec did say 70ft or so but I did expect some capability beyond that distance. Also, the sensitivity of the lense means you have to be very careful in any direct light. Also, diagram in book had buttons marked wrong way round!! Be careful when using!!"

Conclusion

Good buy. These night vision binoculars have a built-in columnated infrared illuminator for use in complete darkness or to improve target recognition in any environment
